Assuming there is a time varying magnetic field (B) , how to determine the direction of the induced electric field due to B. and to which parameters does it depend?
The direction of an induced electric field can be determined using Lenz's law, which states that the induced electric field will always be in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux.
Magnetic flux is a measure of the amount of magnetic field passing through a given surface. It is denoted by the symbol Φ and is measured in Weber (Wb) in the SI system.
The direction of an induced electric field is affected by the strength and direction of the changing magnetic field, as well as the orientation and size of the surface on which the field is acting.
The direction of an induced electric field can be visualized using the right-hand rule, where the thumb points in the direction of the changing magnetic field, the fingers point in the direction of the induced current, and the palm indicates the direction of the induced electric field.
Yes, the direction of an induced electric field can change if there is a change in the magnetic field or if the orientation or size of the surface on which it is acting is altered. This is because the induced electric field always opposes the change in magnetic flux.
